Licensed general contractor handling restaurant, retail, medical, office, and tenant-improvement build-outs across Boca Raton — from lease evaluation and permitting through your certificate of occupancy.
From Town Center and Mizner Park tenant spaces to the office and medical corridors along Glades and Yamato, we build commercial interiors to the standard Boca landlords and inspectors expect — and coordinate the after-hours and access constraints that come with mall and corporate spaces.
From lease evaluation to certificate of occupancy — one licensed team accountable for the entire build.

Keystone is a Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC1541355) that manages commercial build-outs and tenant improvements from evaluation and permitting through final inspection — one accountable team, not a broker handing your project to whoever is cheapest that week.
The City of Boca Raton runs commercial permitting through two online systems, and the process rewards a contractor who knows how to move through it cleanly. We manage all of it so you are not learning the city portal on your own timeline.
Applications, fees, status, and inspections run through Boca Ehub; construction plans are uploaded and reviewed through Boca Eplans (ProjectDox). We prepare, submit, and manage both.
Commercial plans are reviewed by multiple city departments at once — building, structural, fire and life safety, energy, and accessibility. A complete, well-organized submittal is what keeps that on track.
VERIFY: as of 2025–2026 city figures, the first review runs roughly 30 days, with correction cycles around 20–25 days each and no expedited option. Most commercial projects see two to three cycles — we respond to comments directly with the reviewers to keep them short.
For interior commercial tenant build-outs, the Building Official can authorize a Pre-Permit Construction Agreement (PPCA) — allowing certain work to begin before the full permit is issued. Used correctly, it protects your schedule.
Exterior and aesthetic changes may require Community Appearance Board review; a 2024 ordinance now lets staff administratively review certain types to speed things up. We flag whether your scope triggers it.
Electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and fire-sprinkler work carry their own trade permits, and converting a space to a new use (say retail to restaurant) is a change of use with its own requirements. We map all of it up front.
